This rectangular silver wall mirror brings a quiet sense of period character to any wall it occupies. A steady performer in our Wall Mirrors line-up — chosen repeatedly by customers looking for traditional silver-framed designs that feel established rather than overdone.
Design & Materials
The frame is built from hardwood and casting resin, finished in an antique silver tone that sits somewhere between warm pewter and brushed champagne. Up close, you can see the subtle tonal variation across the moulding — darker in the recesses, lighter on the raised surfaces — giving it a convincingly aged, hand-finished quality rather than a flat metallic coat.
Each corner carries a prominent acanthus-leaf cartouche with a central medallion, while smaller shell motifs punctuate the midpoint of the longer sides. Running along the inner edge is a continuous beaded border that frames the clear glass neatly. The frame profile is generously curved at approximately 6 cm wide, lending the piece genuine visual weight without feeling heavy-handed. In our experience, this balance of ornament and restraint is what makes a silver antique wall mirror work in both period and contemporary settings.
Size & Placement
At 91 cm tall and 66 cm wide, this is a mid-sized rectangular silver wall mirror that fills a wall space confidently without dominating it. Hung in landscape above a fireplace, it sits comfortably over a standard mantelpiece — a classic overmantle proportion. In portrait, it works well above a hallway console, a bedroom dressing table, or beside a wardrobe as a practical check mirror.
The flat bottom edge also means you can lean it on a shelf or mantel for a more relaxed, layered look. If you are furnishing a room that mixes antique decorative wall mirrors with cleaner modern furniture, this frame’s muted silver finish bridges the two styles without clashing. It pairs naturally with warm neutrals, soft whites, and muted blush tones — the kind of palette you would find in a vintage-styled bedroom or period living room.
Hanging & Installation
This mirror comes fitted with four D-loops on the back of the frame, positioned so you can hang it in either portrait or landscape orientation. Position your wall screws to line up with the centre of the corresponding D-loops, then hang the mirror directly — do not use string, wire, or chain. At 5 kg, it is comfortable for one person to lift, though a second pair of hands helps when aligning the fixings. Wall screws and rawl plugs are not included, so choose fixings appropriate for your wall type — toggle bolts for stud walls, or heavy-duty wall plugs for solid masonry.
For a clean, flush-wall finish, we recommend pairing this mirror with our heavy-duty mirror fittings kit — a hook-and-loop back-plate system designed to sit flat against solid frames.
